Philadelphia Invests $1.2 Million in Job Training Programs to Address Healthcare and City Employment Needs
Philadelphia is giving $1.2 million to four programs to help people get jobs. Around 250 students will benefit mostly in healthcare jobs but also some city jobs. Places like Penn Medicine and Temple Health need workers and many people in Philadelphia need jobs. The programs will train people for specific jobs, like medical assistants, and help them find work.

Training Programs Offer Pathways to Employment for All, Regardless of Education Level
The grants support programs like the Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) and Rodriguez University. These programs train people for jobs even if they don’t have a high school diploma. They focus on jobs that are needed but don’t have enough workers like medical assistants. Mayor Cherelle Parker says these programs are important for giving people a chance to move up and find better jobs. Philadelphia plans to invest more money in similar programs to help even more people find work and improve their lives.
